Natural sugar is better than refined sugar, but fruit sugar is sugar nonetheless.

There's that often-misused and misleading word "natural" again. Refined fructose has exactly the same molecular makeup as "natural" fructose found in "natural" fruits and other "natural" food sources. Ditto for sucrose, glucose, dextrose, etc.

Tobacco is natural, too, but no one is arguing that tobacco, its "natural" carcinogens or its "natural" but toxic and poisonous nicotine are good for you.

When I'm trying to lose weight I pile on the fruit. Maybe five servings a day. Switchback is correct that sugar in fruit is the same as other sugars. The total nutritional package that comes with the fruit (vitamins, minerals, water, fiber, etc.) beats the total nutritional package of a candy bar or a serving of full-on-sugar soft drink, hands-down.

The point I was making is just because your sweets come from fruit doesn't mean it's healthy. The reason why I said fruit it better than having a Coke or something, is because of the other components to fruit (fiber, vitamins etc.) which is generally missing from other sugar sources. I thought I clarified that with the second clause of my sentence where I said sugar is sugar?

I also love to eat fruits but i was also heard that to eat too much fruits are not good to stay healthy. This is why the doctors are not allowed fruit any diabetic patient. Just because of calories. Anyway a healthy person can eat and he should eat.

Eating fruit -- and lots of it -- is an excellent way to help protect your body from disease. Fruit is rich in micronutrients, flavonoids and fiber and helps protect your body from disease. It's best you eat organic fruit, though, especially if it's something thin skinned such as berries, peaches, etc.

If you're diabetic, you need to watch your fruit intake certainly. The only thing that might pose a problem is not eating enough vegetables, legumes, nuts and other healthy foods your body needs.

And Weight Watchers is not a healthy diet. For a good article about them, see here.
